Really? Why? Teams moved (possibly to lower pay grades as punishment allowing a union to grab a foothold), the store closing... or pricing out of Wally's "let the government supplement what we do" pay scale ... ?

Your reply made NO sense whatsoever.

Yeah, ok ... see if wikki tells you how much 'ol Tom actually TOOK. That man got off with basically a very tenderly applied slap to the wrist.

I started in '92 as Loss Prevention. I was promoted in the double odds to Asset Protection Coordinator. I made less money, working more hours.

I've seen and heard of what you describe.... I built up a relationship with my associates. They told me everything, they were the reason I did so well and I NEVER forgot to mention that fact to my DLPS/MAPM and store manager.

I will tell you as Loss Prevention you saw a lot and was privy to quite a bit, but it wasn't until the APC that you saw a hell of a lot more and ironically, it was that position that finally pushed me over the edge to leave the company (they promoted me out of a job). The shit they said and did ... simply wrong.

Really? Then you have a case against them as well!

As far as the "bullshit"... you really can't see how you compare with what you are saying? Really? Man, WalMart is truly getting their money's worth.

YOU are on here ... if you see all that is going on here is complaining about WalMart, then you (being unhappy about it) should leave and let them have their say, it doesn't effect you one way or the other does it?

YOU are making it affect you by staying in here and posting. So why not "see through the bullshit" and simply leave....

I know.. I know.. if you do, the check stops. I understand, you have obligations.

Al ... you wouldn't know how to answer an honest question if it bit you on the ass and begged you.

If you would quit looking at your masters in such a lime light, you would possibly see the truth....

Errr... a case I recall about an associate being attacked and kidnapped (after she clocked out and was heading to her car that was in a parking lot that had "parking lot patrol") by a non associate and brutally raped ... won a case against Walmart... albeit, she didn't win enough in my opinion.

With the crime rate in that city and a parking lot patrol put into place BY WalMart ... she should have walked away with MILLIONS for what she went through.

But hey, it's WalMart.... so fuck the people right?

I think I'll call you dick from now on.

At the very least, I think a union will close down a tremendous amount of WalMart stores, which will be a good thing. And, by closing them down, union members will have options to follow targeting the company itself (not just a "store").

It would be a good thing.

Nathan1, I can tell you and anyone else on here that YOU are not a co-manager at WalMart. I'm not sure how you are affiliated with WalMart, if you are.. but one thing I know for a fact (speaking with various management at WalMart) YOU are not a member of that team.

Your view does NOT support a 12 year tenure.

The best you can offer is condemnation!? What the hell is wrong with you?! People are out there trying to make a better life for themselves, for their families and you offer ridicule?! Walmart has done more to you than a simple "jedi mind trick"... they "skull fucked" you.

If that's the best you can do, why not offer them a job. You are obviously smart enough to start up a billion + company. Get them in on the ground floor...

Why not help.... the hindering get's old.

"other than WalMart that paid better! Most people WISH that their jobs paid more, but the reality is that you either accept what a job pays, or pass it up, as a company DECIDES what it will pay for labor at jobs with a high 'labor pool' to choose from, as long as it is above minimum wage."

The sad thing about this is that WalMart is a multibillion dollar a year company. You would think that at least they would pay a fair and decent wage that would enable their associates to get off public assistance. Right?

You would think that they could afford to treat their associates properly. Right?

You would think that they could quit with the excuses. Right?

You would think ....

I can tell you - removing risers had nothing to do with anything other than accident prevention. ... at least as it was told to us (in Loss Prevention/Asset Protection).

Your lawyer should file "discovery". They have to provide all evidence against you. If it is an edited version (ie: "choppy".. the time stamp will prove that) then that is all your lawyer needs to dismiss the case based on lack of evidence and possibly "tampering" (remember, you have to be found guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt" --- tampered with video does more than simply question reasonable doubt, it goes to show they have something to hide).

Then, turn around and sue the pants off that store.

Matter of fact, tell me what they accused you of and what evidence they have of it (honestly) and I'll tell you how to beat it... using walmart's policy's and procedures and the law... (remember, they will have to PROVE they treated ALL equally to show why they brought you to court with the charges they gave).

Then, regardless of guilt, you can sue them for slander and defecation of character (because,based on their policies and procedures, it shouldn't have resulted in a court case to begin with).

You need to talk to the EEOC and get a letter for the right to sue from them, it'll go a long way in court. Which brings me to the next -- get a lawyer.

Ok, first of all you say "combined" ... ok, break it down. .VS WalMart, what are they as an individual company? Bet they don't come close to Wally. Wally is a pitfall. They don't pay enough for folks to care.

As for the other thing you talk about..... Actually, in most states, as long as ONE party knows it's being recorded, it's legal (as far as wiretapping a phone line). But, I digress, how do you think hidden camera evidence is shown in drug busts? How do you think hidden camera evidence gets a pedophile locked up? How do you think ... ah never mind, you've shown you don't think anything other than what WalMart tells you to think.

He is not "old".

It is a persona he has taken on in here and one he can't seem to keep under control (get a definite handle on).

His "speech" patterns and his handling of "situations" in here gives him away. Neither are consistent with the views and age he claims. I place him within the mid 30's, possibly younger.

Do you have more than one personality? The way you speak and your handling of situations change quite a bit....

weird.

Re: The Waltons: Still Super Rich!!!

Malchediel — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:30:41 -0000

Al.. I know retail, I started in 1992. I logged close to 20 years as Loss Prevention and then promoted to Asset Protection Coordinator under that new program they rolled out. I actually made less in that "management" position go figure.

I know retail, at least when it comes to Wally World. I've been in the backroom discussions. I've seen the worst of folks and the best of folks. I've been in on talks. I've heard it all... and funny enough, I took notes.

Wal Mart is NOT what you think it is and if you are doing what you are now doing in here, it doesn't pay enough. You'll see one day, when YOU get out from under them... it takes a lot to wash the stench off.

Re: The Waltons: Still Super Rich!!!

Malchediel — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:27:21 -0000

Al that sad fact is that you are accepting a paycheck for the crap you spew on here. Wally could use that money to pay an underpaid associate... but no. They opt for this.

No matter what I think of Gates (his treatment of his buddy Jobs and the history they share) he still has a steady supply of cash streamed into charities. I give him credit for that. He has even made it public that the vast majority of his fortune will go to charity upon his death. Now, don't get me wrong, whatever guided Mr. Sam to do what he did, he did for family (you have to appreciate that) and secondly for concern of his workers. But .. upon HIS death, it changed - it changed by taking the associates out of the equation.

The associates no longer matter at Walmart. They are easily replaced and this economy is a boon to them -- it makes the associates they have take even more crap for little pay because they all know there are people banging on the door for a job.

Have you ever worked at WalMart?

Re: The Waltons: Still Super Rich!!!

Malchediel — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:16:43 -0000

I disagree. Walmart has stock holders to think about and thus, the associate will pay the ultimate price.

Not only that but Walmart is notorious for "cut back" firings or "cut hours" to make them quit ... only to do a "new hire" within a few weeks or so. So why not rehire the ones you let go or forced to quit (already trained, already completed CBL training)... they won't because that is their way of getting rid of folks they don't like and/or who are making too much for Walmart standards.

Remember - the ONLY cost WalMart endures that WalMart can do something about is EMPLOYEE WAGES. Cutting that improves the profit margin and makes the shareholders happy.

Hmm ... perhaps you showed your "true" age with the comment "bitch about". I can honestly say, I have never heard of anyone raised in the 50's ever using that term. It's a slang term that really doesn't catch on with the "older generation". Maybe you're different... but I dunno... from your very conservative (yet oddly anti democratic democratic posts) ideals.....

Ok, go tell your bosses you have a "code red".... they'll know what to do.
